  • Title: Guidelines on the use of blood glucose meters and nonmeter blood glucose reagent strips in hospitals. Committee on Monitoring Devices, Canadian Association of Pathologists.
    Journal: CMAJ; 1988 Jan 01; 138(1):27-9. PubMed ID: 3334914.
    Abstract:
    A cross-sectional survey of Canadian hospitals carried out in 1984 revealed a large diversity of practices in the use of blood glucose meters and nonmeter blood glucose reagent strips and of providers of this service. Most hospitals lacked guidelines and acceptable delegation of quality control. The results prompted the Committee on Monitoring Devices of the Canadian Association of Pathologists, composed of representatives of the medical profession, professional organizations, industry and an accrediting organization, to develop guidelines on the use of blood glucose monitoring devices in hospitals.
